DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.

The St. Lonis Republican thus shows how the Democrats have kept faith with the people:
 ! When the late Thomas A. Hen- dricks demanded look at the books during the last presidential campaign, the people felt the force of the argument. The government had been administered by the Re. publicans for more than twenty years. The public domain had }been Squandered, the navy crip. pied, taxes maintained, at the war mark, corporate monOpolies fos- tered and the public service made d reward for partisan service to the party in power.
 The Democrats promised to re. view the books, to reform the civil service, to save the public domain for the people, to reduce taxes and to administer the government economically. The people accept. ed the Democratic pledges and elected Mir. Cleveland president. How have the Democrats kept faith with the people! The con tractors ring has been crushed the government is being admnis- tered economically, land grabbing has been stopped the civil service is in process of reformation, and war taxes are only maintained by the united affort of the Republi- cans in congress aided by slen- l der minority of Democrats who proved recreant to their party pledges.
 In no department of the govern ment Was reform more necessary than in the pubhc land depart .ment. The Republicans divided the immense inheritance of the people among lot of rapacious mOnopOlists. Republican con gresses voted away the public do main year after year. Millions upon millions of acres were gran. ted to railroad companies. Land I grabbing became recognized and profitable industry, actual settlers the hardy pioneers of civiliza. tiou in the West-were robbed and their we'll earned holdings confscated 10 the insatiate greed of land rings. Cleyland called q halt. His now celebrated letter to Guilford Miller was the dawn of d new era. GuiltOrd Miller was about to be evicted from his hold ing in Washington Territory by the Northern Pacific railroad com ipany, which laid claim to his land as being within its grant. Miller in despair appealed to the president, and the president told the hardy settler to hold on to his homestead and the government would defend his right. Since then other actual settlers have appealed to the headquarters of the government. and in every instance the rights of honest settlers have been de. fended
 The books that honest Tom Hendricks demanded Hook" at have been examined. It has been discovered that the Republican land commissioners granted pat ents to nearly 3,OO0,O00 acres of land over and above congressional grants to railroad companies. 1t will be interesting to hear Repub. lican campaign orators explain, that piece of brazen knavcry. The Democratic administration has taken steps to recover this land for the public domain This is 4 the kind of reform that tells. IL IS real, practical, solid reform.

l recalled aftcrward, aud many times, how d thought of my dream --a long line of switches-swept across me then! how my eyes for the first time swerved from their steady gaze at my horSe's head, and flashed a glance up and down the whole visible line for the com. ing special.

The Coming Yacht Race.

LONDON, May 3l.-The Daily Metcs,
commenting on the yacht race, says:
There is little doubt the Thistle is trying
to overreach herself. If she goes on at
the present rate it will take her all her

other side of the Atlantic"

at a banquet given by the Harwich club

matter. Ii was a formidable ordeal. All
he end his friends wanted was that the
best yacht should win. He felt certain he
should receive fair play, and if he failed

The Farmers Alliance Speaks
PLAIN.

IldIh.
WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Representa-
tives of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul and Union Pacific railways appeared
before the interstate commerce
commission and made answer to a com
plant made by the Burton Stock Car
company, denying jurisdiction of the
commission to grant the relief prayed for.
The president of the State Farmers
Alliance of Minnesota transmits a long
list of requests by the executive commit
tee of the alliance, looking to a vigorous
enforcement of the interstate commerce
law. especially that part relating to the
long and short haul. The alliance takes
the ground that such business interests
as can be sustained only by reason of sus-
pension of the fourth section ought not to
be sustained at all. 1t is better that the
business of the country be left to the ma
tural law of trade than that a few favored
persons in certain places should De able to
organize and carry on colossal enterprises
because of advantages in the use of the
